Production Blog

Choosing my final videos so that my video wasn't clustered was needed. Many of the videos I added were over a minute long. This meant that I had to cut most of the videos into a few seconds so that it would go into my video and fit into the time frame. When deciding the photos I wanted to add, live photos would be a mix with the regular. Live photos show much more emotion which I wanted in my commercial. Emotion doesn't just mean sadness, I wanted the aspect of it showing that I have lots of fun with my friends which really shows me. 

For the music nothing changed. I decided on keeping it with one song. If I decided to do another song it would have been confusing. Learning to transition the songs into each other would have proven difficult. The instrumental part of after hours was a great choice as it paired well with the media. I was thinking I should have did dancehall or reggae to show me. Since in the commercial I didn't have anything relating to my family, that the music would have been a push.

The app was a great addition, iMovie maybe have been more difficult so I'm thankful for Capcut. I also before adding the videos had to touch the brightness up a bit. As its that my friends and I hang out at night mostly, that shows up to dark for most too see. 


I also decided I wanted to add my mom in because she's a big part of me. At first it was just going to be about my passion career wise and the artist I love the most. Also my friends but including my mom since she's my number one had to be done.

All these aspects have mad me into who I am today. The friends and family would be together so the three segments would not necessary change. The ending will be me and my mom with no music so the silence shows the emotion. Then lastly just myself.

The editing of the production.

 Hey, Hey, welcome back! After recording it was time to piece everything together. The editing app was decided to stick to Capcut. While editing I didn't want to have to learn a new software so Capcut was the best choice. I was already familiar with it so it just made everything simpler.  When deciding on the song we needed one that fit the vibe and when editing I decided to use the semi beginning of the song. The beginning of the song had too much intro while I wanted it straight to the point. I overlapped it a bit though so that it didn't just roughly go into the song without somewhat of an intro. While filming I didn't take into consideration the time limit as I should have. Some of the videos were pretty long in seconds so I had to cut it down. Having to edit some of each clips to 10 seconds or less without getting the main subject out. I also had to cut videos into two and put them together to cut the middle out as it wasn't important. With the video I had to cut i...

Planning blog: Location, participants, health, and schedule

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei...

Production blog; Filming

 Welcome back!!!!!  Now as stated in the previous blog some hardships were faced. One that I didn't mention was group disagreements. When in a group sometimes tension can run high and be difficult with working with each other. Now even though filming went ok it could have been better. I stated the scheduling made a lot of things difficult which led to some arguments. Now these arguments led tension that were not hashed out until the day of filming. While filming, I wanted our acting to be beyond surface level. This was impossible with the anger that was fueling the room. To be able to film I had to get everything off of the table. Two members weren't seeing eye to eye and in order to not show it while recording a discussion was prompted. After talking it all out, it was a better place to film.  While filming (part two) While filming, it was done in my house and I wanted everything perfect. To have a lot of the scenes authentic, I put a movie in the background so in the sc...
